Ixia it’s very reliable and communicates really well. She took great care of my cat while I was away.

Ixia helped us out last minute and was a big help! Communication was good, and she made sure our dog got enough exercise and was well taken care of in our absence. My only concern is that many of the check-ins began 2 hours later than we agreed upon.

Ixia took wonderful care of our dog, kept us updated, and made sure he was safe and comfortable despite the snowstorm. On top of that, she was a great houseguest and kept everything neat while we were away. We would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

We were in need of a sitter last minute for a weekend trip, and she responded right away and even came later that same day to meet our two dogs. Both dogs instantly loved her — which says a lot, especially for our anxious dog. She came by from Saturday through Monday to let them out, feed them, and give them attention, and she followed through on all visits. We appreciated the photo updates and knowing our dogs were cared for while we were away.
